She was credited on the book The Nurse and the Mental Patient. Thereafter, Charlotte balanced her professional life with being a mother, raising her two sons. In 1964 she co-authored with Morrie the book Social Approaches to Mental Patient Care. In 1968 she began a position at the Psychiatric Service of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

At Brookhaven she was heavily involved with Grandmothers for a Brighter Future, a political action group which supports candidates concerned with environmental issues, women's rights and voting rights. She also created and led for many years a discussion group on politics at Brookhaven. Charlotte had a thriving social life with many theater and orchestra subscriptions. She was a gourmet cook who often entertained friends and colleagues. Charlotte maintained an abiding interest in literature, film and current events. Throughout her life, Charlotte was concerned for the well-being of family members and friends, offering encouragement, down-to-earth advice, and financial support.
